12 Iconic Movie Characters Who Aren't As Cool As You Remember

9. Driver - Drive

The majority of us would be mercilessly verbally slaughtered by our friends and peers if we walked around in a jacket with an attempt of a threatening yellow scorpion picture on the back whilst chewing a toothpick. Of course, the Driver would get away with it because he looks like Ryan Gosling, but as this list has already proven once before, you can't always coax on good looks to prove to the ladies that you're not a complete sociopath - especially when you're crushing people's heads in lifts and threatening people with hammers. You might think it's cool by not having a name, but we all know it isn't. How does your boss know who to make the pay cheque out to? How do we know who's winning at bowling? How do we know if he's picked to be the next contestant for The Price is Right? We don't, and it makes you wonder how immature his mother must have been to have thought it would be radical to leave her son's birth certificate as blank (or 'not applicable'). He might drive cars for a living, but that usually means he's on his own. And when he is in the company of nice, welcoming people such as Carey Mulligan's character here, he merely stares at them awkwardly and coldly, suffocating any conversation into submission until you just want to break down into tears and stab him in the eye with his own toothpick because you feel so damn threatened.
